Drake Maye is about to play the biggest game of his life on Sunday with a chance to send the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl with a win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship. His wife Ann Michael stole some of the spotlight with her stunning fit on Thursday.

With a win in Denver, Maye will have led the team back to the big game for the first time since 2019 when Tom Brady was quarterback. Ironically, he’ll be doing it against Brady’s teammate that season in Jarrett Stidham, who is taking over the the injured Bo Nix.

The 23-year-old second-year player Maye has had an MVP-caliber season with 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns and only eight interceptions.

While Maye has been a hit all season on the field, his wife Ann Michael has been off of it from her TikTok cooking shows that fans ha have inundated the comments, to her fire fits like her wild sprakly pants look in the Wild Card round of the playoffs and her special Drake sweatshirt message look in the divisional round win.

Earlier this week, she flexed her giant ring in one of her cooking videos. On Thursday, she was making Drake a high-protein chicken salad for lunch to get him game-ready while wearing a shoelace-strap workout fit.

No doubt come Sunday Ann Michael will be bringing the heat with her to Mile High Stadium in Denver.

The Mayes’ love story:

Drake was a superstar for the North Carolina Tar Heels before he became the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to New England. Ann Michael also went to college with Maye, and her brother Tad even played QB with Maye. They got married just this past June 21 back in North Carolina.

Now, she’s his No. 1 fan in New England.
